Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is anticipating a thrilling game on Thursday night in Los Angeles as his team takes on the Chargers in a crucial AFC West showdown. With Denver vying for a playoff spot and hoping to secure at least the No. 6 seed in the conference, Payton is looking to the team’s fans for support.
Reflecting on a past game at SoFi Stadium, Payton recalled a previous matchup where Broncos fans dominated the stadium, even though it was an away game. He believes that Broncos Country will once again travel well to L.A. and create an electric atmosphere.
Payton is preparing his team for what could feel like a home game, given the likelihood of a strong Broncos fan presence in the stadium. Despite the challenges of a short week and tough opponent, Payton thinks the team’s previous experience on Thursday night games will be beneficial.
The NFL asked the Broncos to agree to the Thursday night matchup, which is their second road game on a short week. Payton explained that the decision was not only to give the team more time to rest before their next game against the Bengals but also to take Cincinnati out of the Thursday night slot. This strategic move shows Payton’s focus on maximizing the team’s performance.
As game day approaches, Payton is optimistic about the Broncos’ chances and believes in the support of their dedicated fans. With a tough opponent ahead, the team will need all the help they can get to secure a crucial victory in their playoff push.
